November 22nd, 2009
In Response to Rocket Fire on Saturday Morning, IAF Struck Terrorist Sites
in the Gaza Strip

Israel Air Force fighter jets recently targeted and identified hitting two
weapons-manufacturing facilities in the northern and central Gaza Strip and
one smuggling tunnel in Gaza's Rafah border area. The attacks were in
response to the firing of a Qassam rocket at the city of Sderot on Saturday
morning.

Nearly 270 rockets and mortar shells were fired at Israel since the end of
Operation Cast Lead on January 18th 2009, in comparison to over 3300 rockets
and mortars fired in the year before the operation. The last month had seen
approximately 15 rockets and mortar shells fired at Israel from the Gaza
Strip.

The IDF will not tolerate any attacks by terror organizations against Israel
and it's citizens.
